Mandah's Losing It!

Wow, am I ever a slacker? *slaps self on wrist* I have been so busy with complete non-sense that I've forgotten to update this in almost 2 weeks! That means, of course, there have been 2 new vlogs (see below).





Also, the collab channel I talk about in the first video was made an introduction by Stacey (Mondays!), here it is.



My first video for that is due tomorrow, I promise to not look so crappy then and to actually have something to say. My weigh in 7 video, I actually made today and was in a horrible mood. Ex's suck, 'nuf said.

So anyway, back to the gym tonight! Excited! This week is going to be so good, I can just tell! ^^

As always, if you need me, you know where to find me!

Hey everyone! Day 118 is here, rapidly approaching day 120, which of course means, 120 day pics! I always get a little nervous before pic day because I'm afraid I won't see a perceptible difference or that I'll find that I look bigger somehow. lol Hasn't happened yet, but it could!

Shawnies pics are coming soon as well! I can't wait, make sure you guys keep an eye out for those!

Shawnie and Nickie are my real life BFF's. Make sure you check out their YouTube channels and subscribe to them. It'd mean a lot to them, as well as me. :)

This week is going surprisingly well! I have high hopes for the rest of week! I probably won't be blogging tomorrow as I'll be at Nickie's but we shall see.

I've had a lot of positive responses to my "Mandah is Fat" video. I would really like for you all to go view it and post a video response, even if you've never done a video before. You never know whose life you can make a difference in and it's worth it!

Bye for now!

Hey everyone!

So, today was the day where I posted 3 videos. They can be found here:

If you haven't already, please rate, comment and subscribe. It makes me really happy! :)

I don't know why but everyone seems to think I'm depressed in my videos today...I'm really not! I just busted through a plateau, I'm feelin' fan-freakin'-tastic! I was a little, tiny bit bummed that I didn't reach 2.5lbs lost this week but as far as the month goes, I met my goal. I am steady on my way to hitting the 100 mark for the opening of New Moon. *geeked*

I think the biggest parts of getting through the plateau were reigning in my use of carbs (having been on atkins for week, I went carb crazy!...which is when I plateaued...coincidence? I think not) and mixing up my fitness routine. I'd really relaxed and it's not that I have to go to the gym every single night and kill myself til I have to crawl out to my car but I do need to work out, it does need to push me and it needs to be varied.

I've also started drinking coffee again (with sugar free creamer, of course (:) and I'm finding it has me feeling fantastic. Coffee is supposed to be good for weight loss. Also cinnamon. I managed to get in a tsp today from a new recipe I tried called "Apple-Cinnamon Muffin Oatmeal"...it was delicious! I also got in a good amount of fiber from the black beans I put in my tuna salad. This should be a good week!

Today was amazing...and why? MOTHER FRICKIN' NEW MOON TRAILER! WOOT WOOT!



*sigh* How will I make it til November? Seriously!

So, even without that, todays been pretty great. I don't want to jinx it but I think I may be past the plateau. This weeks weigh in is going to be mediocre at best...that is, as long as the plateau is truly gone. If it's not, then it'll be a very disheartening weigh in. I'll take mediocre over disheartening any day. :)

I've also been thinking a lot this week about what it means to be to be fat. Every aspect of life as a person overweight. I've been watching the videos of others and reading articles. I'm going to make a video of the conclusions I've come to and my own personal opinions on the subject. That means of course, there will be 3 videos this week. My regular weigh in video, the video I just mentioned and I was tagged by Shawnie to reveal to one and all, the contents of my gym bag. lol Should be interesting...actually, probably not. *shrugs*

Grocery shopping tomorrow, hopefully I'll get lots of healthy foods. I'm going to start incorporating beans into my diet...and I don't mean green beans. lol I'm thinking kidney beans for now maybe. I'm going to stay up a bit later and research other healthy food staples I need.

Talk to ya later!
